So I got a +opk yesterday afternoon at 2pm and already dtd earlier that morning at 10am. I screwed up the eod because I really wasn't feeling well the day before yesterday. We dtd really early this morning (5am) and now I'm considering dtd again tonight (~10pm) in addition to tomorrow morning (~7am). What do you think? Should I add the extra attempt tonight or just dtd tomorrow morning? I feel like I don't have enough attempts in my fertile window if I don't add the extra attempt. If I stick with traditional SMEP, my attempts would be: O-4, O-1, O, and O+1. If I add an extra attempt, it would be 2 attempts on O day (today). I'm not sure what is the better thing to do.

I would probably make the attempt tomorrow as you got one in this morning so that is good. The one tomorrow would cover you if O is delayed. It also depends on how your DH can handle it... mine wouldn't want that many attempts so close!

It looks like you are pretty well covered!! Good luck!

I've been secretly stalking this thread. Congratulations honeybee & MrsSparkles!

I guess I've been doing the SMEP and not knowing it. I'm on CD14. 1DPO and we've BD each day, just one more daily day. He's very happy, but I could use a break. 😒

I know what you mean, MeanVeggieGal. DH is more than happy to oblige my dtd schedule with as many attempts as I'd like. I'm only doing it so frequently to get the attempts in, lol. We'd dtd constantly if it were up to DH. Although, one cycle I said we had to dtd every day. That got old for both of us after about 7 days straight. HA HA!!! We didn't even want to be around each other let alone dtd at that point.

I decided to go ahead with the additional attempt last night and then we didn't do the attempt this morning. I knew it wasn't likely that the morning attempt would happen. We're going to have another attempt tonight and then skip a day. I feel good about our attempts. I'm glad we had the extra one last night. It makes me feel like we covered all of our bases.

Momamia,

Glad you got that extra attempt in...it may be just what you needed! Sometimes it just makes you feel better that you gave it your all. 😊

I just can't help but wonder how DH is going to feel when I cut him off at the end of the week, not cut off completely, but not every day or other day. I need a break for a few days.

Fx crossed for us all!

[momamia4]

MeanVeggieGal, your DH will get over it. Mine always does, lol. He knows that after I ovulate it's back to the same old routine. They get used to it. FX for you! What cycle day are you?

[MeanVeggieGal]

I'll try not to worry then. Thanks for your input. 😊 CD 14, 1DPO for me. What about you?
